Far beyond licensure, this bill expands scope of practice, codifies it in state statute and eliminates physician collaboration requirements for nurse practitioners, nurse anesthetists, nurse midwives, and clinical nurse specialists in the current law.
Sadly, the bill is still lacking the clinical training and guardrails on independent practice that WPA, the WI Medical Society, and many other physician groups have been fighting to include.
Our last hope to stop this troubling law from being enacted in Wisconsin is another veto by Governor Tony Evers.
This bill disrupts the cooperative and collaborative team-based model of health care that makes Wisconsin a leader in patient care and will result in a systemic shift in patient care and healthcare delivery in Wisconsin.
